2024-25 Jack Adams Award Odds Favorite: Spencer Carbery 

At the 2023 trade deadline, the Capitals moved Anthony Mantha, Joel Edmundson, and Evgeny Kuznetsov for a bunch of picks then traded goalie Darcy Kuemper for Pierre-Luc Dubois, and acquired Andrew Mangiapane, Logan Thompson, Jakob Chycrun and Lars Eller in four different trades. With so many moving pieces it would have been understandable if the Caps started the year slowly. 

But the Capitals have surprised by opening the year with a 21-8-2 record, Spencer Carbery deserves a lot of credit for keeping this quickly redeveloped Capitals roster on the same page. 

Unlike some of the other names on this odds board, his team isn't being propped up by Vezina-level goaltending. Sure, Charlie Lindgren and Logan Thompson have been good with 0.899 and 0.911 save percentages respectively but, that's nowhere near goalie-of-the-year territory like challengers Scott Arniel, John Hynes, and Ryan Huska who've got goalies with elite numbers.

Stats from the time of writing

We also have to consider that the Caps have been without Alex Ovechkin and his 68-goal pace for weeks now, Carbery has been impressive with how he's molded this massively changed team in such a short period.

2024-25 Jack Adams Award Odds Value Pick: Travis Green

Speaking of goalies, now that Linnus Ullmark remembered how to stop a puck the Ottawa Senators are sitting in a playoff spot. Look, it's no coincidence that with Ullmark holding a 0.972 save percentage and 0.83 goals against average in his last six starts the Sens have won those games and pushed them into that playoff spot.

It's also no coincidence that Green's odds jump into the top five on the Jack Adams odds board.

But look, I've got to give Green some credit his system still has the Sens scoring loads with the 13th-best offense (3.1 goals per game) and it's helping out his Vezina-winning goalie by keeping shots low with the 11th-lowest rate in the league (27.6 shots per game).

Ullmark figuring out his game was the last piece of the puzzle for Ottawa, so don't sleep on Green's potential to win the Jack Adams.

Tocchet won the Jack Adams by transforming the Vancouver Canucks into a 109-point team in 23-24 from that 83-point side in 22-23. See what I mean? It's not always the coach that has the most success that wins. The coach whose team has the biggest turnaround year-over-year usually wins the Jack Adams.

who has won the most Jack Adams Trophies?

Pat Burns sits above the rest of the competition as the only coach to win three Jack Adams trophies, let alone with a different squad each time. With such a small amount of repeat winners, everyone on this list is cemented in NHL history as some of the best to ever lead a team.

NHL Teams with the Most Jack Adams Trophy winners   

Fun fact: the first Bruins coach to win a Jack Adams win was Don Cherry, who won in the second year of its inception. Interestingly, Jacques Demers for the Red Wings is the only coach to win twice with the same squad – every other team’s totals come from individual wins.

NHL Teams that have never had a Coach win the Jack Adams Trophy

The Rangers, an original six squad, have been in the league since 1926 and have fewer Jack Adams wins than the Vegas Golden Knights, a 2017 entrant to the NHL. Although it stings, it shows you that awards can be finicky things. Just because these teams never had an award-winning coach doesn’t mean they’ve been badly mentored.
